Maia, my grandmother, passed away on 22 January after a long fight with kidney disease. She was 77 years old. She was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $2,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 9 February.
I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Maia to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
Anything left over after the funeral will be donated to a local food bank.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $1,600
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $640
• Transport of the deceased: $165
• Memorial gathering for the family: $395
Every share and every dollar helps.

Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Manukau!
thanks for sharing this, Oliver. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Take care
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Auckland. I'll ask around and let you know.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Palermo!
sending strength, Oliver. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
